Its true that a mobile website is essential. More than ever for small businesses who need new customers to be able to find them. 45.5 million people own smartphones in the US alone, so imagine how many of these are searching for businesses while they are on the move. A mobile website should be even easier to design and publish than a regular website, but few hosting services seem to make this a simple task. I can recommend this one (I'll be honest, its my company's service): http://consected.com/mobile-site-free-trial for the non-technical folks who just want to get some pages published so that customers don't find their competitors instead. Thanks, Phil Nice summary of your experiences.

I'm running my site on Expression Engine and it just makes more sense to set up alternate templates/css as opposed to hacking my say through the existing homepage. Is there a way to make Mobify redirect to templates I set up? Example: http://www.amystoddard.com/m Can you share how frequently you used x-paths to delete extra content?

I had to do a bit more CSS than I thought --- maybe because of my CSS stacks --- but otherwise it is going well. It's good not have to contend with sidebars and fixed content widths in mobile versions! I’m using Mobify too.

I used Mobile press once, but got rid of it a few days later, I don't know if it was my coding or something but it'd load the mobile version even in FF every now and then. Mobify looks great though, I just signed up :) Nice work with the mobile version Jacob, clean and simple.

The amount of people with iPhones / mobile devices (with net) is ridiculous. Aaron,

This sounds like a pretty efficient solution, so I'll give it a whirl. It would be pretty safe to assume that in the not-to-distant future, every site will need a mobile version.

That way it will identify if it is a mobile browser and automatically send them to the new mobile version. Have you considered looking into a way to do a browser detection redirect?

I'm going to give it a shot on my new website. I tried using the "iphone simulator" but the pages still look normal, just overflowed in a box with an iphone background. Will it actually detect an iphone layout on a live website? or is it just showing the size of the iphone screen? - Alex Hey Jacob, I have been looking for a post like this!
